Our time and materials agreement is the simplest and most straightforward payment structure for remodel work. Home renovations are dynamic, and unforeseen circumstances or evolving preferences can arise during the process. Using a time and materials model allows us to adapt to any changes or additions seamlessly, and without the need for change-orders and contract renegotiations. As a homeowner, you’ll stay informed at every step, and play an active role in the decision making process as your project progresses.
Our fixed-bid agreements are handled similarly to our time and materials bids, with the overall cost based on material selection and estimated labor hours required to complete the job. Please note, while this may sometimes help to track your project budget, our fixed bids are not a guarantee of actual costs. As your project progresses, changes will be handled with change orders that will help to accurately reflect your evolving remodel cost.
Our materials are secured at a contractors discount of 10-20%. These savings are passed on to the homeowner, and thus the actual markup is often closer to 10%.
Most homeowners are unaware that the cost to remodel has gone up an average of 18% year-over-year since 2020. At Duramen Builds, we’re committed to keeping you costs as low as possible to help mitigate these rising prices. If you plan to remodel your home, there is no better time to start than now.
The cost to remodel your home can range widely depending on multiple factors, including the scope of work, labor costs, and material costs to name a few. While it is impossible to give a price without knowledge of your project, here are a few examples of general remodeling costs:
A cosmetic kitchen remodel that doesn’t involve removing any walls or manipulating the loadbearing structure typically ranges between 80-160K, and includes the following:
The average cost can increase to 250K+ with entire structural redesign.
A bathroom remodel generally ranges between $40k-$60k and can include the following:
When it comes to pricing in these small spaces, the sky is the limit. It’s easy to approach 300K in a master bathroom using high-end finishes.
